Hi Chin, At the moment, I'm looking for DCOM connection between Linux clients and Windows server. As DCOM provider, I plan to use 3-rd party software named "EntireX" (product of www.softwareag.com). TCL is intended to be client-side script. I already got good results by launching TCL on Windows platform but TCOM module looks like Windows-only. So, the question is: how to migrate TCOM package into Linux world? Technical side would be provided by EntireX DCOM for Linux (it emulates most of non-GUI COM staff). Unfortunately, it's not enough to copy "lib/TCOM" folder from Win to Linux. There are 3 files that are Win-specific. tcom.dll tcominproc.dll tcomlocal.exe How to recompile them to Linux+EntireX or just substitute with hand-made modules? Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance, Yury Schkatula schkatula@mail.ru ---- Is it handy for someone to restore Chin Huang's information? I'm traveling now, and can ill-afford the time ...
